My hottest debates in 2007 - at the other place or worldwide - question whether Bono, American Idol and all its crew misled 35 million viewers and the $50 mn from them it fundraised out of Africa child. As we now know from Katrina and other gory episodes, we live in a perceptual age where there are many grades of inconvenient truth above outright fraud (which I am not accusing anyone of). And these greys (blinding what global integration of localities we all weave) compound ever more risk (estimated by editorial team of The Economist 24 years ago to be irreversible by 2015) to the ultimate sustainability of our species than ...

...waiting until the baby flows out with the bathwater for evidential proof. I haven't spent a life as a historian. Yet it seems clear beyond` reasonable doubt that IF there is one lesson from the last half century of Africa, it is that global aid trickles down less of its total top grassroots empowerment than the leakiest water ultility's pipe grid imaginable. Friends like Peter Burgess http://tr-ac-net.org who have lived and worked through genocide countries can give you direct testimonies on how many ways transparency can bleed.

Now, Bono claims that his inspiration for Make Poverty Hostory, wishing at ted.com, supporting American Idol mentoring the final 6 on the week of teh charity songfest, ... came from early grassroots work in an orphanage. Why then does he and his peers not appear to have had time or resarch care to keep logs for a map of grassroots up orphans projects and ensure at least some of funds collected telling te stories of 50000 orphns from Kibera is given back. (Of if he does and did, why does no search many of us have now tried on the internet yet show a case of this). I conclude that people power http://peoplepower.jp communities like whatever succeeds omidyan must network weave for Africa in an entrepreneurially revolutionary way.

We are not claiming in London/GB to be smarter at ER http://entrepreneurialrevolution .blogspot.com than anyone else. What we do perhaps have is longer exploring the system transforming E-word (origin 1800 pioneered by maps of 1 Frenchman and several Scots) more constiutional freedom to debate whether our leaders have enough tough with cross-cultural grassroots; and a commonwealth crossroads of more languages and people of diverse roots in London than any other city; and if truth be told more compound guilt for letting Independence systems spiral the opposite way round from freeing good peoples.

6 CM.net

http://changemakers.net the idea of the web having one transparent competition space for emerging social entrepreneur projects seems oh so important, and in the 18? months since birth this co-developed space of ashoka and omidyar has become a clear leader in terms of magnitude of project entries; well over 1000 are now documented in the long format that the competition entry requires ( I dont know anyone who has made a competition entry in under an hour - so this is not just one minute project pr posting that afficts so many other virtual communities)

if there is anyone who expects to interact with changemakers.net in terms of not just submiting an occasional project but sharing views of what can be learnt from eg the winning projects and indeed whether presentation could be clearer so one could spot which projects are ready to replicate, peers from transparency mapping communities and I including http://tr-ac-net.org and http://www.valuetrue.com (as well as various authors and case developers whose work I offer minicredit http://www.omidyar.net/group/community-general/news/1947/ to ) would love to be contacted any time chris.macrae@yahoo.co.uk and we can start workingh out how to co-edit http://changemakers.info as eg one site that cheers CM.net on

Am I the only one here who feels that a collaboration community of viewers is needed to improve understanding of what lasting discoveries come out of changemakers.net? Surely this is part of what needs to happen if we are then to lobby the media?

In our view at http://entrepreneurialrevolution.blogspot.com which we aim next year to get 1000 alumni coming together for a 25th year reunion - which also sees many publications converge at the same time and round some semi-permanent hubs being developed in London - an absolutely critical empowerment and sustainability puzzle in this world is why does mass media's attention mechanisms make it so easy for the world to spot upcoming new tennis players, golfers and new entrants into 50 sports? But not coming stars or even the fields of endeavour in the various championships whose network weaving will determine whether all our sustainbilities are to be won or lost. http://passports.jp http://universityofstars.tv

It may well be that eg Razoo becomes one leading next destination for omidyan but if so I would have desperately wish that an interface between eg Razoo and changemakers.net flowed seamlessly. Just as this thread encourages you to see if we can get to 100 projects that can then be tracked as observations omidyans helped unearth, we will be writing to major global village conference organisers and long-standing virtual communities to see which have longitudinal tracking studies comnfigured around identified projects. We will be using the wotld citizen travel guide format which roughly speaking resembles the program (publication size) you would get at a broadway show to catalogue life histories of projects emerging out of different hemispheres http://valuetrue.com/home/galler y.cfm

It is time that convergence of projects wherever netizens helped spot them was encouraged by a new genre of publisher. It is pretty clear that if nowhere else this will emerge in publishing houses connected to India and S African needs to develop peer to peer social entrepreneurial courses around open sourcing content of replicable models. It would be great if some NW hemisphere media went beyond their separate boxed in models which make open spurcing of peer to peer curricula so much more cumbersome than needs be on life-empowering info in a webbed age, but its already clear from last weeks mobiliation of youth to restructure their own peer corses by the former President of India that this will happen whether NW are last to join in or not http://www.hindu.com/thehindu/ho lnus/403200708161020.htm

I am utterly fed up of volunteering time - as a mathematician/mapmaker who surveys transpsrency and sustainability of entrepreneurial/empowerment projects - only to find my time has to be doubled are redoubled in each different virtual community box, with its non compatible software, and its lifecycles that sponsoring hosts like omidyar organise with somewhat less consistency than if they were hiring and firing circuses of cheshire cats. AS Matthew Bishop said on Charlie Rose tonight now that the world has nearly 1000 billionnaires, http://billanthropy.blogspot.com http://asinworld.blogspot.com/ may be a game that peer pressure demads each puts a pr toe in the water of.

But the unprompted question of mirror mirror on the wall whose the most fashionable billanthropist of them all is if that's all it is then these global town criers http://valuetrue.com/home/commun ity.cfm are hastening the end of human sustainability

The first 7 years of politics around World citizenry -Make Poverty History's serial abuses of never getting to grassroots empwowerment - are getting shortchanged by all the rhetoric http://peoplepower.jp - it is time that in each major western nation we make leaders accountable so that talking world citizenry goes way beyond a PR fad http://petitions.pm.gov.uk/Trust PeoplePower/

DONT LURK NOW Apart from peers I already know, is nobody else here interested in trying to unite the maps and flows needed for this collaboration competence to flourish?

for example there are often 1 or 2 key questions on particular CM.net projects (which would help explain how great tehe projects were) but rehearsing them -before demanding in all transparency that te project founder replies - with an independent learning community would be of so useful?

7 Ukraine, Ukraine - Jeff Mowatt's work everywhere I bumped into him on onet breaks my heart- what I just dont get is how after the fall of the USSR the world didnt try a bit to integrate all the educated and productive peoples of the old USSR. Like some cold war hangover where the West would never let the people come if from the cold. (You'll find history shows these were counties where the US sourced many of its greatest scientists during first third of 20th Century... were there no US foundations in the late 1980s ready to give people a hand to reopen these societies? )

9 world's most practical empowerment project of 007

Now this gets a bit personal - nowt wromg with that in my opinion as long a thread warns from the top

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/engla nd/london/4741333.stm My deepest personal mentor was killed in 7/7 london 2005- and his favorite term was empoweement and I used to tease him that I didnt understand this new jargon- hence the challenge to myself to try and work out what he might have nominated as the most practical emowerment project of each year

a bit of background- last year Sir Nick's Stern analysis clarified that energy was the least empowering global market sector humanity has been misled by; it is intesting that before his analsysis of how nations now need to invest 1% of their wealth to save 20%- he wrote a book on empowerment economics and advocated it was time to close the world bank unless it moved over from global powering over's lost transparency to empowering communities up- omidyar has an emnpowerment thread and within that some further motes scoping empowerment are at http://www.omidyar.net/group/hel ping/news/1/35/

first a missed opportunity of 007: america once 35 million were show kibera orphan child http://kibera.tv out of africa on america idol could have asked where the near $100 mn it gave to Bono and Curtis went; found that it went to global aid down, not anyone actually doing projects empowering the community within Kibera- maybe that inquest will come back next year or the year after once Brits have whispered to enough bbc journalists that we are fed up with serial bonoisation of poverty aid but the model stern and others have now discredited

so let us turn to some bright news; India has been studying empowerment for 100 years; Satyagraha gandhi's term for digging up truth is a pure empowerment model, and as he implemented from 1918 after 12 years in S Africa, learning (youth education) is the simplest way to plant a revolutionary change that betters peoples and every vilage community rising- around 1930 gandhi knew he wanted to up his educational systems another notch and he got Maria Montesssori over to India to expliain how peer to peer learming can work in schools; one school in Inda is now 48 years and 250000 children into developing that curricula further (it is a top 10 school in the whole of india serving top 19 quality to 31000 children on a cost base similatr to that which other top 10 schools serve hundreds), and moreover the eldest daughter of the founders of that school having also worked in the world bank herself has worked out a way called gems to open source empowerment eduation anywhere - this is my nomination of most practical empowering project we can all collaborate around in 007 if we stay connecting - so let's move over to Razoo and our gropu is yours a better for child city http://beta.razoo.com/causes/bet ter_child_city http://beta.razoo.com/blog_post/ 1936/show

10 scaling up social entrepreneurs

one of the most dramatic ways was introduced to me here http://www.omidyar.net/group/foo dchain/news/87/ at omidyar.net - the cheap dvd set that skoll and ashoka offered for about 9 months - you can still download chepa from google or see 4 minute samplers

http://www.zooleo.com there was also the brillaint top 3 question tools - 2 greats to answer that I appreciated were Bill Drayton http://www.omidyar.net/group/foo dchain/news/157/?searchterm=dray ton and David Goleman

we also asked Bill to contribute to our travel guide genre where we ask what collabaorations the 200 most trusted people in the world want next - yes that's an ogoing voting process where its exciting to see who stays in the top 200 and sho's newly in it and most of all I love catalguing what the compasses of collaboration entrepreneurs are

we will try and move guide research to razoo and facebook as well as keeping it going at http://up200.tv and associates and main downloads at http://valuetrue.com/home/galler y.cfm

11 Prize of communal wish

I still believe this is one of the great collaboration dynamics that human communities can deploy

I am unclear whether we feel at onet it was exercised here or not- I undedrstand there were occasional votes for prizes in the community but I feel they were not circulated so that there was community wide participation

absolutely a best communal wish benchmark is the prize at http://www.ted.com - http://www.ted.com/pages/view/id /105

I completely believe the gossip that without the ted prize where Larry Brilliant wished to colaborate around developing networks to preven t plagues and other risk spreading, google.org would not have appointed him world's most linking person

gee only 89 to go - any help anyone!

Chris, This is a FANTASTIC!! thread! looking forward to where it goes, THANKS!!

WDI: Simple Solutions to Waterborne Diarrheal Illnesses

The intent of this group is to work towards elimination and treatment of waterborne diarrheal illnesses. We see this happening in lifting awareness, focusing on solutions to the problems and enabling existing NGOs in their work to attack WDI.

This group arose out of the Q4 2006 Omidyar funding proposal. But in fact the proposal was not among the winners, however a matching challenge was made available. The Omidyar Network pledged to match dollar for dollar donations to the programs identified within a month up to five thousand dollars.

This project was exciting for me, because I'd never participated in a distributed effort to research, coordinate and then to fund raise. One of the great advantages of the program was to make participants come up with acts they could do to assist meeting the goal.

The result of so many people identifying actions they could make is to enhance future efforts towards the cause of stopping water-borne illness. A website was launched Clean Water for the World and a blog to promote hat making as a fund raising idea Hats For Health as well as a Facebook Group Healthy & Safe Water for the World

Because the funding proposal was funding for five existing projects the participants learned about different approaches to solving the problem as well as developed connections with existing projects on the ground.

The Rural Health Care Foundation in Uganda was one of the programs awarded a grant. During the Omidyar.net Conference in Gulu a few of the participants were able to visit the project. Now The Rural Health Care Foundation is sponsoring a conference HEALTHY & SAFE WATER FOR THE WORLD INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE 8th -11th July

The great success of this project was the emergence of a small group of people who became more educated about the problem of water-borne disease. They were challenged to find ways to address the problems. And most importantly developed on-going relationships with organizations and communities engaged in finding solutions.

15 missed opportunities

do tell us if you come across someone who aimed to start a fascinating conversation that never got continued- perhaps I am interested in subjects that are often at the edge of this community's manstream -risk is one; when I search it I find quite a lot that someone started but nobody picked up

example denise caruso on her new book on risk which this seach clicked me to http://www.omidyar.net/user/u691 781277/news/0/?searchterm=risk%2 0OR%20externalization

pretty soon I was looking at Denise's blog which has many issues that I certainly would wish to debate any time

http://hybridvigor.net/

here she is on anti-social media

ANTI-SOCIAL MEDIA, RISK AND INNOVATION Denise Caruso, June 21st, 2007

This morning, I was one of the two opening speakers at the Supernova 2007 conference in San Francisco. I shared the stage with Clay Shirky. We both talked about social media and social networks. I think we got blogged in lots of places, but here’s the first one I saw, on ZDNET, by Mitch Radcliffe.

My thesis was that Internet tools and culture (targeted search, blogs, social networks like MySpace etc.) make it easy for us to hook up only to the information and people we already identify with, and consequently they propagate a Us v. Them mentality.

I called it “anti-social media.”

This has proven to be quite unhelpful for solving big problems, both on the net and in society at large. And these problems could be dealbreakers for the future of innovation on the Internet.

They include what I called the ‘Hackathon’ which the Internet has become — a playground for spammers, identity thieves, search scammers, ‘gold farmers,’ etc. — as well as copyright, privacy, ‘Net Neutrality‘ and spectrum issues.

I suggested that the innovators in the audience invent some tools that bang people into information they aren‘t looking for, and foster relationships with people who aren‘t already like them.

Wouldn’t that be interesting?

16 health care systems - benchmarked

I notice 2 people (please add your names) who have expresed this passion many times: http://www.omidyar.net/user/u454 668516/ joseph puthooran India

Beno Varghese http://www.omidyar.net/group/iss ues-general/news/14/14/

The vista discussion (and attempt to open source knwoledge of a healthcare system paradigm around India) seems to have a lot in it http://www.omidyar.net/group/vis taindia/news/0/

(Incidentally I dont know how Bill Clinton's 2007 wish at ted.com has been going but it was on how to openly demonstrete the development of a rural health care system taking Rwanda as an example. In his video Bill explained how rising costs of most heathcare systems (rich and por places) is one of the system failures of our times. He set the goal that any country should have a healthcare for all system at no more than 10% of its GDP. America would have a lot to learn from that)

17 Hot Desk For Gandhian/India region knowledge - let's keep them always open

since hearing of o-closure, I realise my biggest mistake this year has been not focusing on open knowledge I have links to in India and Bangladesh because I'd though that 007 was going to be the year we lept forward for Africa if we ever did (with Africa's World Social Forum, ted.com visist to tanzania, American Idol giving back to Africa ) and many others http://www.omidyar.net/group/eco nomics/news/27/ I lost focus because of a place I dreamed of newtork weaving some help towards. Mea culpa.

It could have been better to focus on clues my peer networks around Gandhi have excavated and then wiated to see who said snap we can use some of these. Let's try to rectify this. A useful question is who was Gandhi in terms of knowhow for posterity? The greatest every social entrepreneur? the only person Einstein nominated as mapping system transfromation change capable of taking us beyond the system we are stuck in? The only national revolutionary to have thought through how to empower all the epople to make the revolutionary after better than the system they had been chained in. The most peaceful of revolutionaries. The educationalist Maria Montessori partbered. The greatest inspiration for those economists who insist that sustainability depends on focusing on above zero-sum contexts - yunus, prajalad, stern, singh in fact any economist worth programming your mind round right now seems to be in Gandhian networks.

So yeah It was a very dumb year not to talk Gandhi as much as poss most notably because 007 is the cenetenary of his whole truth curricula (Satyagraha) - pretty important at a time when we are drowing in inconvenenient truth governance almost everywhere. Here's a timeline that we ahve started debating since the open source publication http://valuetrue.com/home/gallery.cfm in July of the first world citizen travel guide (on learning http://groups.google.com/group/g uidelearning)

Its my view from feedback on how few people have connected the dots of this curricula that global philanthropists who do not study it are putting themselves at systemic risk of compounding negative productivity. Let's be absolutely clear- all truth development is about the impact on the long-term curve; mathematically there is negative correlation between 90 day historic measures of success and sustaining the future. Any funder who does not understand that needs closing particularly those global aid funds who dont get the picture. http://peoplepower.jp

22 Open Space This community had quite a lot of conversations on open space. a very provocative title I have chosen to link to is we already know the right people http://www.omidyar.net/group/ope nspaceresearch/news/8/ definitely not imo the greatest risk of hosting meetings for change is inviting people who are already converted to our own view

Let's go back to the ABC of Open Space, and then read the system design framing between the lines

A the people who come are the right people B the only rule in open space is the law of 2 feet C it isnt over until its over (this one may have other renderings)

Crucially A puts huge importance on how the invitation to join the space was developed. Sometiems Harrison would publish a whole idea paper and require its readership as part of an invitation. Remember the key supposition of 3-day (ie true top grade) open space is we are tackling a conflict barrier; innovation will only come if we can move all people through the conflict barrier as the open space takes place. That means if any party who is deeply connected to the conflict is not represented, the whole thing is spoilt in terms of transforamtion likelihood.

Conversely,if people who come are actually at war with each other the second before the space opened that indeed is a sign that the people coming are the right people!

C the biggest folly is to assume that open space ends- ideally what it can be is the start of the most interactive network you have been in

open space is definitely one of my lifelong pursuits to encourage people to change the world with. More that that if you arte ever being afcilitated in any other system intervention, open space gives you the confidence to ask yourself why the heck is this extra stuff being put in the way of people getting on with unlearning and elarning. There are a few (very few) methods that I have come to see a true reasoning to but many more which seem to me to reveal that the so called system facilitator isnt

our learning guide included a Harrison owen dontaion on why every child benefits from the right of esxperiening open space before their teens

if you wish to debate that or other OD stuff , I do a facebook group at

and I am always happy to try to share maps of who's OS who on what contexts
